Abstract
A base station transmits on a first control channel first scheduling information for a control message. First radio resources of the first control channel start from the first symbol of each subframe in a plurality of subframes. The base station transmits the control message configuring second radio resources of a second control channel. The second radio resources comprise resource blocks in a subset of subframes in the plurality of subframes. The control message indicates the subset of subframes and a starting symbol of the second control channel. The base station transmits second scheduling information on the second control channel.
Claims15
A method for use in a base station, the method comprising:
- a) transmitting on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), to a wireless device, first scheduling information for a radio resource control (RRC) message, first radio resources of said PDCCH in a subframe in a plurality of subframes starting from the first OFDM symbol of said subframe;
- b) transmitting, to said wireless device, said RRC message comprising configuration parameters of second radio resources of an enhanced PDCCH (ePDCCH), said second radio resources comprising one or more resource blocks in a subset of subframes in said plurality of subframes, said RRC message indicating:
- i) said subset of subframes;
- ii) a first starting OFDM symbol of both said ePDCCH and a data channel in said subset of subframes;
- and
- iii) frequency resources for said ePDCCH in terms of resource blocks in said subset of subframes;
- and
- c) transmitting, to said wireless device, second scheduling information on said ePDCCH for a packet transmitted on said data channel.
A base station comprising:
- a) one or more communication interfaces;
- b) one or more processors;
- and
- c) memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause said base station to:
- i) transmit on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), to a wireless device, first scheduling information for a radio resource control (RRC) message, first radio resources of said PDCCH in a subframe in a plurality of subframes starting from the first OFDM symbol of said subframe;
- ii) transmit, to said wireless device, said RRC message comprising configuration parameters of second radio resources of an enhanced PDCCH (ePDCCH), said second radio resources comprising one or more resource blocks in a subset of subframes in said plurality of subframes, said RRC message indicating:
- (1) said subset of subframes;
- (2) a first starting OFDM symbol of both said ePDCCH and a data channel in said subset of subframes;
- and
- (3) frequency resources for said ePDCCH in terms of resource blocks in said subset of subframes;
- and
- iii) transmit, to said wireless device, second scheduling information on said ePDCCH for a packet transmitted on said data channel.
A wireless device comprising:
- a) one or more communication interfaces;
- b) one or more processors;
- and
- c) memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause said wireless device to:
- i) receive on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), from a base station, first scheduling information for a radio resource control (RRC) message, first radio resources of said PDCCH in a subframe in a plurality of subframes starting from the first OFDM symbol of said subframe;
- ii) receive, from said base station, said RRC message comprising configuration parameters of second radio resources of an enhanced PDCCH (ePDCCH), said second radio resources comprising one or more resource blocks in a subset of subframes in said plurality of subframes, said RRC message indicating:
- (1) said subset of subframes;
- (2) a first starting OFDM symbol of both said ePDCCH and a data channel in said subset of subframes;
- and
- (3) frequency resources for said ePDCCH in terms of resource blocks in said subset of subframes;
- and
- iii) receive, from said base station, second scheduling information on said ePDCCH for a packet transmitted on said data channel.
